No way, the vibecoded distro has security problems!?!?! WTF, didn't DHH ask claude to check for security issues?

It might be weird, but it might be the result of forces in equilibrium: e.g. one explanation might be that time spent prompting is time spent not improving, or learning, so it would not be surprising then that the productivity gains might b

your perception is that you get more stuff done faster, and that seems to be the conclusion that most using LLM's come to (including myself): but there are no productivity gains that are externally observable to show for it (yet). That

total slop, who cares?

lmao curling and exec'ing a vibe coded script running in a vibe-coded runtime, what could possibly go wrong!

by mistercheph 1mo ago
Yes, and I'm saying that generating predictable slop is totally free now, humans behaving like machines turns out to be replaceable by machines.

It wouldn't surprise me that a company with an effectively unlimited budget could fund enough researchers to solve breakthrough problems, all while using LLM's (which are excellent research and exploration tools!) and then claim t

they don't, cite one example of well written LLM prose? they can definitely infer a lot more slop than people have patience to, and anyone writing or reading slop prose has realised this and replaced sitting around writing and reading

You seem a bit distracted by the links instead of the content that can be accessed by clicking on them, they show that in tens of instances, your personal anecdote about how flock removal went don't hold. Flock drags their feet, makes

Flock's value proposition is having a national surveillance network, local PD are not their only customers, here is yet another instance where oops, a camera that they promised was off, turned out to be on in Eugene: https:/&#x2F

There are dozens of ways for it to be done, but here's an example of how Austin PD worked around contract termination: https://www.kut.org/crime-justice/2026-02-12/austin-tx-apd-f... The network effect value

> If your muni votes to shut the cameras off, they will shut the cameras off. That's simply not true: there are numerous instances of municipalities having to fight flock to get cameras removed or shut off, and instances where local

You made the same claim based on a personal anecdote in multiple places in this thread, giving it the same reply seems reasonable, but I'll grant there's probably a better way than a wall of links.

IANAL, but making some assumptions to fill in gaps, it seems they are avoiding having to comply with CCPA and other privacy laws like this: they harvest camera data and retain the images probably forever, but only turn it into identifying d

Briefly: education is concerned with thinking, vocational training is concerned with task performance. There are lots of synergies and gray areas between the two, e.g. certain kinds of task proficiency are really helpful tools while thinkin

Why should taxpayers pay for jobs training programs? since these vocational students expect to make lots of money with their certificate in hand, they can just take out a loan. this makes an actually rational system where the cost of job tr

Most of higher ed in the US are not education, they are trade schools for white collar work.

Education is not something arcane, TBH it's really the vocational schools that should be forced to call themselves something different. 99% of university students are not there for an education, they are in welding school upper-middle-
